We have been unable to find specimens at the locality near Day Avenue and Matilda Street in Coconut Grove mentioned by King and Krakauer (1966). Heiuidactylus garnotii.—This gecko (Fig. 23) was reported by King and Krakauer (1966) from two separate localities in the Miami area. They postulated that the introduction may have resulted from specimens collected during the International Indian Ocean Expe- dition (1960-1963) and later released at the houses of two University of Miami personnel located in southwest Miami and Coconut Grove. Prior to 1960. however, the lizard was known to one of us (LP) to be established in several localities in Hialeah. Kluge and Eckardt (1969) reported the species from the Everglades National Park and McCoy (1972) from Sanibel Island in Lee County. This gecko has now become widespread throughout Dade County and we know it to occur along the Tamiami Trail at least as far west as Monroe Station in Collier County. The northernmost locality on the east coast is Floridana Beach, Brevard County, reported by Myers (1979). Mitchell and Hadley (1980) listed it from Naples, Collier County, and we also know it to occur in Fort Myers, Lee County, and in the Florida Keys on Upper Matacumbe and Grassy keys. Steiner and McLamb (1982) recently reported a specimen from the Dry Tor- tugas, Monroe County. The Indo-Pacific gecko is expanding its range in south Florida more rapidly than its congener, presumably because it reproduces Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have be
